All,
I'm fairly new to DNS in a 2003 domain. I've been tasked with making
the DNS more efficient and seeing what can be done to improve it. The
domain was migrated from a Win 2000 domain. I've been looking at the
DNS structure we currently have, and been reading up on MS's site
regarding the _msdcs bits.
At the moment, we have a structure in DNS as such:
Under the Forward Lookup Zone, we have DOMAIN.com, under DOMAIN.com
there are 4 folders/containers called _msdcs, _sites, _tcp, _udp,
DomainDnsZones, ForestDnsZones.
What I cant get my head around is whether this layout is correct. On
MS's site (http://tinyurl.com/ap2ym) it states the _msdcs part as
_msdcs.forestname and talks about going into its properties etc, but
there is no properties tab for _msdcs.
There is no Application Directory partition set up as yet. Our root
domain controller is 2003, but we have a mixture of 2000 and 2003
DC's.
Can anyone inform me about what the DNS layout structure should look
like now we're on a 2003 domain, and how it can be optimised. At
present our DNS works, but it hasnt been touched since we upgraded to
2003.
Any help greatly appreciated.
